Lawn & Garden
Seed, feed, and the sharpest mower blades in the county. Manny sees to it.
The Riverside yard runs with the seasons: seed and feed in spring, hoses and canning supplies in summer, ice melt stacked deep by October. Manny sharpens blades all year, and the propane cage is open whenever the store is.
THE YARD
On the shelves
- Grass seed & fertilizer, bagged for Iowa soil
- Hand tools: spades, hoes, pruners & the good rakes
- Hoses, sprinklers & rain barrels
- Bird feed, feeders & canning supplies in season
- Ice melt and snow shovels, stacked deep by October
Not on the list? We order from two regional warehouses, and most things land in 2 to 4 business days. Ask for it here.

What people walk in with
Bring us the problem
-
A mower that tears the grass
A dull blade rips grass instead of cutting it. We sharpen and balance it for $9, or $14 if we pull it off the mower ourselves.
-
A lawn that won't grow
Start with a soil test. We send it to the state lab and go over the results with you, so you buy the feed your yard actually needs.
-
Pruners that crush stems
Bring them to either counter. A sharp edge cuts clean, and the plant heals faster.
Heard at this counter
- Do you sell bulk mulch or soil?
- Bagged only. For a truckload, a landscape yard will beat us, and we'll give you a name.
- When does spring seed come in?
- Usually the first week of March. Call Riverside and Manny will tell you what's on the pallet.

The whole pitch
Bring the broken thing. We'll take it from there.
The bolt, the chip of paint, the photo of the drip. Whatever you've got, bring it. Sixty-four years in, the answer is usually ten minutes and a few dollars away.
